Did anyone els cop the line chronics with the tigers on them? Did they last you more than a week ? I had a pair that lasted me 5 days before delaminating 3/4 tips , my homie has the same pair and his are now starting to delaminate in the same spot. Did anyone els have this experience with the 2022 line chronics?

Nice thing about delamination is duct tape is cheap* and the bases still slide on snow

I mean you could and should still expect more than 5 days. Unlucky but not a surprise.

Broken skis can be more fun than brand new ones though. U can treat them how u like without having to worry about them breaking, if you have a second good pair that is.

Ive been hearing a ton about line skis durability getting worse since Pollard left, which is Ironic because my 2012 Opus look basically brand new on the topsheet.

seems like this was a particularly bad batch, been seeing tons of complaints about this years chronics.

I've had a few pairs of lines, some blew up and some were bomber. they're hit and miss with durability
